Three Sooners Named Sporting News All-Americans
December 17, 2019 | Football
NORMAN — The All-America honors continue to roll in for Oklahoma, as wide receiver CeeDee Lamb received first-team honors by the Sporting News on Tuesday, while center Creed Humphrey and quarterback Jalen Hurts earned second-team recognition.
It is the fourth first-team All-America honor this season for Lamb, who was also named on the Walter Camp, FWAA and Associated Press All-America first teams. He is Oklahoma's sixth consensus All-American in the last four years (wide receiver Dede Westbrook in 2016 and tight end Mark Andrews, offensive tackle Orlando Brown, quarterback Baker Mayfield in 2017 and offensive lineman Ben Powers in 2018). Sooners have now earned 82 all-time consensus All-America honors.
The junior from Richmond, Texas, ranks third nationally with 14 receiving touchdowns and seventh with his 20.8 yards per catch. He ranks 11th in the country with his 100.7 receiving yards per game despite ranking 69th with 4.8 catches per contest. He has made at least one touchdown reception in nine of his 12 games this season and is tied for the lead among Power Five players with six games of 135-plus receiving yards. He also leads the nation's non-seniors with his 32 career receiving TDs and 3,173 career receiving yards. Lamb ranks second at OU in career receiving TDs, fourth in career receiving yards and 16th in career all-purpose yards in just under three years of competition.
This is the third second-team All-America honor for Humphrey, who was also named on the Walter Camp Foundation and the Associated Press second teams. The redshirt sophomore from Shawnee, Okla., has started 25 of his 27 career games for the Sooners at the center position. He is the anchor of a line that has paved the way for Oklahoma to lead the nation with 8.2 yards per play and 11.4 yards per pass attempt (min. 10 attempts per game) and rank second nationally in yards per game (554.2), third in yards per completion (16.0) and passing efficiency rating (195.9), fifth in third-down conversion percentage (50.7) and eighth in yards per rush (6.1). In 799 plays this season, Humphrey has registered 93 knockdowns without allowing a sack. He was a Rimington Trophy finalist, Big 12 Co-Offensive Lineman of the Year, a first-team All-Big 12 selection and an Academic All-Big 12 Second Team honoree.
Hurts, the Heisman Trophy runner-up, was also a third-team selection by the Associated Press. He leads the nation in yards per pass attempt (11.8; the FBS record is 11.6), yards per completion (16.4), points responsible for per game (23.7; tied) and touchdowns accounted for (51; tied), while ranking third in total offense (376.1 ypg) and passing efficiency rating (200.3; the single-season FBS record is 199.4). He also ranks fourth nationally in completion percentage (.718; OU record is .709 by Baker Mayfield in 2016), seventh in rushing touchdowns (18; second among QBs) and 10th in passing touchdowns (32). He averages 279.5 passing yards and 96.5 rushing yards per contest.
The Houston, Texas, product has compiled 4,889 yards of total offense (3,634 passing, 1,255 rushing) and is second among OU quarterbacks in single-season rushing yards and rushing touchdowns (Jack Mildren had 1,289 rushing yards and 20 rushing TDs in 1971). He is just four total TDs shy of the school record of 55 set by Sam Bradford in 2008.
No. 4-ranked OU will make its 53rd bowl appearance when it takes on No. 1 LSU in the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl on Dec. 28 at 3 p.m. CT. The game will be televised by ESPN.
